Over the Hedge

Vicarious Visions once again serves as an example to ALL 3rd party game makers on how to do a 3D DS game right.

Over the years, every seasoned gamer has learned one thing, avoid movie-based games. Also, many seasoned DS gamers have started to believe that all 3rd party titles should be avoided, because some game producers really d... Read Full Review

Bust-A-Move DS

This classic revival is a great revision for those that have played past games and a perfect start for new gamers.

Bust-a-Move has seen many different forms across various systems. This latest one takes all the fun of former versions and, thanks to the DS' touchscreen, completely refreshes the gameplay, making it worth the time of th... Read Full Review

Spyro: Shadow Legacy

There is nothing here in this game to excuse their being a chuggy game engine.

Spyro games have been around for a while, but this is actually my first Spyro game. And what a bad game for me to enter into the series with. This game is about Spyro just getting off his school break when some dark forc... Read Full Review

Lost in Blue

This game feels like Animal Crossing meets deserted island... which means its just you... and a "blind" girl

Lost in Blue puts you in the place of a teenager named Keith, a kid that wakes on a deserted island after the cruise ship he was on sank during a storm. Of course, landing on a deserted island, you aren't exactly equippe... Read Full Review

Guilty Gear Dust Strikers

It's definately a solid game worth getting, but with just an addition or two, this could have been a must own for the DS

Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers is another yet another game to revolve around the Guilty Gear X2 timeline (it’s quickly turning into the SF2 syndrome where the game maker can’t seem to count past 2, a la Street Fighter 2). Al... Read Full Review

Animal Crossing: Wild World

Animal Crossing: Wild World has so much for you to do, this game will not leave your DS!

Animal Crossing: Wild World is the second in a game series that really is up to three versions worldwide (the N64 version never hitting the US N64 console). Basically, you are a person moving into a new town, where you h... Read Full Review

Real Time Conflict: Shogun Empires

This game tries hard to be a in-depth RTS with a nice background story, but just comesout as Risk with RTS elements.

RTC: Shogun Empire is the first strategy-type game that we have seen thus far on the DS. The story is about two brothers that have different views on what it is to rule an empire and therefore, fight for supremacy in feu... Read Full Review

Sonic Rush

Its refreshing to see a Sonic game really capture the feel of its classic games.

Sonic, the poster boy for Sega system, now dispursed over all the field of systems. None of those game though, have really been all that spectacular since Sonic Adventure 2. And even that game, while being great for what... Read Full Review

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

If you never picked up the first game in this series (like me) but have played Paper Mario, you'll feel right at home.

M&L: PiT is the second in the M&L handheld series. The game is classified as a RPG, but I'd say its more of a Platformer RPG than anything. You can level up, & have battle sequences, but you also walk around the levels h... Read Full Review

Burnout Legends

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

I love Burnout. I love my Nintendo DS. I don't love games where there is no skill to winning the game. This is one of them. In Burnout DS, your opponents, instead of being ruthless on the track, trying to destroy your ca... Read Full Review

Dragon Ball Z: Bukuu Ressen

This game, while using what comes off as simple controls, is actually provides good variety

The DBZ franchise has seen its series placed into many iterations over many different consoles. This lastest one on the DS is a continuation of the Supersonic Warriors from GBA. While I have not played the first one, I c... Read Full Review

Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble!

Viewtiful Joe DT has managed to pull in all the fun of the console VJ games & do something unique for the DS.

Viewtiful Joe is the series of games that has really come into its own as a powerhouse of the sideview action adventure game. And the DS version only continues this trend. In this game, you once again take the controls a... Read Full Review

Dig Dug: Digging Strike

This game is tons of fun, but those looking for more than classic Dig Dug 1 & 2 gameplay will be disappointed.

Dig Dug Digging Strike truely does a good job at mixing Dig Dug 1 & 2 style gameplay for a unique game, but this game really does little to try and give players more beyond this, besides the extra powers, provided by Tai... Read Full Review

Metroid Prime: Hunters

It's been said a million times now, but this game truly pushes the Nintendo DS hardware to levels never seen before!

Metroid Prime Hunters is the second game from the series to bring the metal-encased heroine Samus Aran to the Nintendo DS, and the first full-fledged adventure to appear on the system. This time she is going out on a mis... Read Full Review

Metroid Prime Pinball (w/Rumble Pak)

Pinball games have been done over & over, but this game is a refreshing experience!

We've all seen pinball games all over the place, of all different types. But this game, especially with its new portable rumble feature, its a real treat to play... as well as a treat for the eyes. Gameplay- 8- It's h... Read Full Review

Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

After playing this game for more time than a person should & having all the things wrong pointed out that I missed....

I can only say this is a definate non-buy. I have wrote this review 2 times now. The first time was after playing it for about 3 hours which, after some time to get used to it seemed to be ok. But as I played it more & m... Read Full Review

Chou Shittou Caduceus

While this game is a wonderfully original concept, one of the games main mechanics makes the gaming experience at times.

Trauma Center is a game in which you play a rookie doctor in his little anime EResque world as he comes to learn of an ability he has called "Healing Touch." This ability allows him to work in a highened state, like time... Read Full Review

Meteos

Meteos sounds simple and boring at first, but once you pick this game up, you won't be putting it down for a LONG time!

Meteos, a puzzler that has you doing one simple thing, sliding tiles up & down columns to line them up in vertical or horizontal rows of three, along the backdrop of saving planets from falling Meteos. Sounds simple and ... Read Full Review

Bomberman

This is the ultimate handheld multiplayer with 30 different modes. This Bomberman is a fresh loaf of explosion fun!

Bomberman... do I REALLY have to describe this game? This game is up there with Mario in known video game characters... except Bomberman has always held the same basic mechanics for its multiplayer mode. But it doesn't s... Read Full Review

Pac-Pix

Pac-Pix takes advantage of the touch screen in a way that is truely enjoyable... for about a week or so.

Pac-Pix is a unique game, that places Pac-Man and various types of ghost onto an open field, in which Pac-Man has to be drawn to chase ghost & controlled using lines. WHile the game provides for a unique experience that ... Read Full Review

Need for Speed Underground 2

While there are some slight issues with the game, this game still provides an ok overall experience.

NFSU 2 is a non-free range version of the NFSU 2 games released earlier this year on the consoles. The game isn't as solid as another DS racer title, Asphalt: Urban GT, but it does fair, especially considering the other ... Read Full Review

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent

Its the first full FPS on the Nintendo DS & despite a few weak areas, its a solid game, setting the bar for future FPSs.

As most of you know, this is a conversion of the 2004 Goldeneye: Rogue Agent game that was on the 3 consoles. But the unique thing about this version, is that instead of a standard controller (which is an option) you can... Read Full Review

Touch! Kirby

A game that used the pure touch pad controlls so well, I lowered my review score of Yoshi's Touch & Go

Yes, this game uses the touch pad that well. Kirby's Canvas Curse is much like most kirby games... you can get powers and move around in a rainbow colored, bubbly happy world. But this time, Kirby is a ball, stuck in a p... Read Full Review

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

The 3D levels are nicely detailed and absolutely fun with the bot fights. Worth the premium price over the GBA version!

This is, as most know a direct port of the GBA game. And I tell you, that the GBA beat-em up style gameplay is fricking AWESOME. It reminds me of the SW;ROTJ for the SNES, but with much improved force usage & being able ... Read Full Review

Puyo Puyo Fever

Between all the single-player modes & options and the many multiplayer choices, this is the best Puzzler out there!

Puyo Pop may look to many like just another simple puzzle game, and in its basic classic form, it really is. But with the fever mode and "nuisance puyos," on top of the need to set up & use combos to stay ahead of the co... Read Full Review

Panzer Dragoon Orta (Platinum Collection)

If your one of those people that waited until NOW to get an Xbox & is deciding on games to get, put this in the top 5.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is, unfortunately for me, yet another game where this is the latest in the series, but this is the only one I have played. Given that, my perspective on the game is pretty much with a clean slate. Tha... Read Full Review

Nightshade

While this has the chance to be a truely great ninja game, you eventually feel like your playing a pattern puzzle game.

Gameplay- Nightshade is an interesting ninja action game. In this game, you must attempt to defeat enemies usually in a pattern, as set up by the way enemies are placed. Unfortunately, this restrictive gameplay is more o... Read Full Review

Chokkan Hitofude

While it looks simple & the concept is simple, this game provides hours of challenging gameplay.

Polarium is a unique puzzler where you flip over tiles trying to on one move get all the rows to be one color to destroy the tiles. There are 3 main modes of play... Challenge- this is kinda like a tetris part, where ... Read Full Review

Tak: The Great Juju Challenge

Its a fun, basically standard 3D platformer with some goodies thrown in that help to stregthen an otherwise weak title.

This is my first Tak game, so as to how they have played before, is beyond me. But from what I have read, Tak has always been a decent platformer, but nothing that truely makes it a must-have game for everyone's library.... Read Full Review

BioHazard: Deadly Silence (Limited Pack)

A classic Capcom game made even better for the Nintendo DS!

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, the final visit to the game Resident Evil on its tenth anniversary of chilling gamers to the bone. And even though a lot of what is in this game has been seen & done before, all the extras ... Read Full Review
